Hi list monkeys!
I've been using ZFS on freebsd since August 2007.
It was running on 4x 9GB SCSI drives in raidz1 configuration powered by
some old bx133 motherboard with 2x CPUs on 350MHz with 512MB of RAM.
Applications running on it were couple of jails spinning low traffic
mail servers and mysqls. All was running "smooth" considering the amount
of fancy hardware :)
However about week or so I upgraded that box by placing all 4 drives in
new machine with P4 grade CPU and 1GB of ram, *but* I failed to connect
all 4 drives in new enviroment with 1 scsi cable (was too short to reach
4th drive) and decided to give it a shot and see what happens with 1 hdd
offline (omg i was expecting that will work).
What happened:
1. Base system running on gmirror volume consisting of 4 mirrors booted
up normally in degraded mode with 3 of 4 drives online.
2. /data powered by raidz1 zfs was showing 3 drives, 2 online and 1
faulted. zfs list was showing that volume is unavailable due lack of
spares.
I'm not sure which drive I didnt connect, was it da0, da1, da2 or da3 so
i tried one more combination by cabling 3 drives in little different
fashion. This time 2 of 3 drives showed as faulted.
I've left it and got extra cabling the next day. Connected all 4 drives
and ZFS pool continued working normally like it was in previous box.
What was wrong when 3 drives were connected? Wasnt supposed to raidz1
survive lack of 1 drive? Or I did something wrong there?
I didnt do 'zpool export' prior to physical migration of the drives.
I'm using FreeBSD 7.0-PRERELEASE pulled from cvsup before 2 weeks. No
custom patches.
